A Qassam Brigades’ fighter has managed to blow himself up with an explosive belt targeting five soldiers, killing and wounding them, Al Jazeera reports citing a statement on Telegram.

The armed wing of Hamas said its snipers also shot two other soldiers among the rescuers arriving before attacking the group “with a number of grenades” in the Tel al-Zaatar area in the east of the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.
